The Three Peaks Loop is the most complete way to experience the Stawamus Chief, linking First, Second, and Third Peak in one strenuous adventure. The trail begins with a steep forest climb before reaching exposed granite, ladders, chains, and sections where hikers may need to use their hands for balance and upward movement. Each summit offers a different perspective, with wide views over Howe Sound, Squamish, and the surrounding mountains. Completing all three peaks requires substantially more effort than visiting First Peak alone and involves repeated climbing and descending between summits. It is best suited to hikers comfortable with steep, rugged terrain and some exposed sections.
